Sorry, I read the original post as if to say "impossible to start a sentence with a certain character", for which I would say that it is up to the user to make sure that that character does not appear as the first character of a sentence (as opposed to Word etc which sometimes automagically change the first letters or characters of a sentence). When the question is whether a character cannot be the first on a line, then I would say that hyphenation rules etc would take care of it. In the case of "small yo", as in でしょ , as opposed to ですよ , some fonts may include ligatures (some guru please advise)? In Japanese alphabets these combinations with "small characters" (sorry, I forgot the real name) are usually interpreted as being one character.
Cheers,
Wilfred
